I have an ultrasound on the 6th and my first appoitnent with bloowork and such the 7th. I can hardly stand it. I think the only thing keeping me from bursting is that we are traveling to see our family across the state this weekend to tell them in person that we're expecting. (They've all been waiting awhile to hear that!lol)

My first appointment is 6/6 also we will get a ultrasound I don't think I'm very far along so we probably won't see much. I can't decide if I should reschedule till I'm further along or just go, the first appointment always makes me extremely nervous so it wouldbe nice to get it over with.

Our first appointment is Monday too. A stomach bug here is keeping me plenty occupied however. The OB's nurse suggested I'd have to go in to the ER if I didn't get some fluids in me, so the thought of a $200+ bill is more motivating than the idea of drinking something gagging me . So excited to see what's going on - we got an US first appointment last time, so I hope we get one this time too. We'll be almost 8 weeks, so we should see something.

Yeah my first appointment is on monday, im so excited i should be getting a ultrasound and ill be 9 weeks so im hoping we get a good look at a baby and not a bean like with my son ( first apt was at 6 weeks with him) Good luck to everyone I hope we all have a happy appointment

My appointment is Monday as well. I am more anxious about all the lab work/papsmear and pelvic exam more than I am happy to see an ultrasound. I know, that is so bad but I have a fear of people doing stuff to me down there and that overrides all the happy stuff for me. I am just glad that it will be over with in the beginnig and I will be able to enjoy the rest of the pregnancy knowing that I will not have to do it again!!!

This is my first pregnancy and after reading other's comments, I am surprised at how little I actually know about what my new Dr. does at first appointments! I also have my first apt on 6/6 but I know NOTHING about what will take place! I hope there will be an US as I had spotting in my 6th week and am still a little nervous from that, but I really have no idea. Should I have asked when I made the appointment? (On a side note, my Mom is an US technician so she already looked at my uterus to make sure the implantation was in a good spot and everything since I was so nervous at first. This might be why I am less anxious about the first apt)
